Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent the shimmy in high frequency area and stabilize the steering in high-speed traveling by arranging an organic fiber cord in a specified range to the equatorial surface of a tire, and providing a reinforcing layer having a specified setting width corresponding to the width of a spiral belt on the inside of a carcass layer. SOLUTION: A carcass layer 4 consists of a ply of organic fiber cords arranged in one direction within the range of 60-90 deg. to the equatorial surface of a tire. A spiral belt layer 5 consists of a cord ply of one rubber coating cord or a plurality of ribbon-like rubber coating cords spirally wound and extended in the lateral direction of the tire. Further, a reinforcing layer 6 is arranged on the inside of the carcass layer 4, and the width is set to a setting width of 20-120% of the width of the spiral belt layer 5. According to this, each performance of shimmy, stability, lightness, and clipping during cornering can be well balanced.

In recent years, as the weight and performance of vehicles have been reduced, tires having a cross-structured belt layer have been used to push up a tread surface caused by minute irregularities on a road surface and to increase the tread height. The resulting minute vibration of the steering wheel, so-called shimmy, has become apparent, and prevention of shimmy, especially in the high frequency range, has been strongly desired. Also, in motorcycles, securing the stability of the vehicle body at ultra-high speed running has become a more important issue, but in this regard, the conventional pneumatic tires for motorcycles For motorcycles, where the protruding amount of the center of the crown part becomes large and the installation shape is greatly deformed, it is inevitable that the ground contact area of the tire becomes small, and the problem in such a situation is solved No pneumatic tires have been known so far, and rapid development was desired.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS A pneumatic tire having a spiral belt structure has a small change in tire contact shape even at high speed running and is excellent in high speed durability, preventing occurrence of shimmy and stability of the vehicle at high speed running. On the other hand, there is a drawback that the bending rigidity of the tread is low, but in the conventional tire structure, only the belt layer is replaced with the spiral belt layer. In addition, a decrease in maneuverability such as low road grip force is inevitable.

In the present invention, the occurrence of shimmy is avoided,
Basically, a spiral belt structure is applied to stabilize the maneuverability during high-speed running.However, a reinforcing layer arranged inside the carcass layer arranged on the innermost layer of the tire or on the surface of the inner liner is The flexural rigidity of the tread is improved since the tire is located outside of the bending neutral axis at a distance from the bending neutral axis when the tire is loaded. Further, since the shear rigidity between the tread surface and the ply does not decrease, the force generated on the tread surface has an adverse effect on the behavior transmitted to the vehicle body via the belt and the ply (for example, a decrease in the cornering force and its response). High-speed stability, grip power, and maneuverability are maintained at a high level.

[0010] It is possible to arrange a reinforcing layer between the plies or to provide a reinforcing layer outside the outermost ply. In this case as well, the bending rigidity of the tread portion can be improved. Since the shear rigidity from the tread surface to the ply decreases, the loss increases, and the force generated on the tread surface adversely affects the behavior transmitted to the vehicle body through the belt and the ply,
No high improvement effect can be expected in terms of high-speed stability, grip strength or maneuverability.

In a pneumatic tire having a conventional structure without a reinforcing layer as shown in FIG. 2, it is difficult to maintain a high level of flexural rigidity and shear rigidity of a tread portion and to freely adjust the balance between them. In the present invention, by providing the reinforcing layer 6, the bending stiffness of the tread portion under a load applied to the tire and the shear stiffness in the region from the surface of the tread 2 to the ply 4 can be maintained at a high level. As a result, the inevitable decrease in steering performance when the spiral belt is applied is compensated.

The reinforcing layer 6 applied in the present invention basically has an installation width of 20 to 120% of the width of the spiral belt, because the bending rigidity of the side is too high. This is because the handling characteristics deteriorate and the absorptivity deteriorates. In particular, when the installation width is set in the range of 20 to 60%, there is an advantage that the balance between shimmy, stability, lightness and the performance of the grip during cornering can be increased by securing an appropriate tread rigidity.
